‘Fuck!!!’ Reid shouted in his mind, still ridding the high of his orgasm, once he saw Bella withdrawing in a hurry and running, most probably towards her room.
He slightly pushed the woman while he removed his condom and disposed of it.
‘Oh My God!!! This was amazing!’ the woman moaned, still not moving from the sunbed, looking at him with eyes full of desire.
‘You will find your money on the table. It’s time for you to leave.’ Reid told her.
Now, as he addressed the brunette, his demeanour was noticeably cold and impersonal. There was an icy detachment in his tone that for a moment frightened her.
"Can't we stay a little longer? I don't want this to end."
Reid regarded her with an almost icy detachment, his features stoic and unyielding.
"Our time is over. You did your job. Leave!" he slightly raised his voice.
As the brunette reluctantly gathered her belongings and left the scene, Reid remained a portrait of aloofness, his emotions hidden behind a mask of indifference. It was a stark contrast to the intensity she witnessed earlier.
Despite being an experienced high-end escort, she had never met anyone like him before. The intensity she just felt earlier was out of this world and she could not help herself from wanting more. Usually, she was relieved when the customers finished faster, but who would have thought that Reid Carter was such a beast in the sack, under his cold appearance? Too bad it ended.
After the brunette had left, Reid made his way to a nearby bar area, his movements deliberate and controlled. Mr. Ice was back in control.
Without hesitation, Reid reached for a crystal decanter filled with amber liquid, pouring himself a shot of whisky. The liquid glinted in the soft ambient light of the room as he raised the glass to his lips. In a single, swift motion, he downed the shot in one gulp.
As the fiery warmth of the whisky coursed through his veins, Reid closed his eyes briefly, his mind wandering back to the events of the day.
His typically composed demeanour had been disrupted earlier in the day by the shocking encounter with Bella.
As Reid stood there, reflecting on the events of the day and sipping another glass of whisky, his thoughts turned to the entire week that had unfolded since the arrival of Richard and his family, including Bella. They had been friends for years, and he had watched Bella grow up from a sweet, shy girl into the young woman she was today.
From his perspective, Bella had always been the daughter of his best friend, a young lady who he'd seen on occasion at social gatherings and family events. She had often struck him as reserved and polite, a bit too shy to fully engage in the world of their affluent social circle.
Over the years, Reid had maintained a cordial relationship with Richard and his family, but he had never given much thought to Bella beyond the role she played as his friend's daughter. She had been just another face in the crowd, someone he exchanged pleasantries with when their paths crossed.
During their stay on the island, Reid often found moments of solitude by the pool, using the tranquil surroundings as a backdrop for his work-related phone calls. One day, as he stood by the pool engrossed in a conversation, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards the water.
There, in the glistening pool, he saw Bella. She moved through the water with fluid grace, her every stroke and movement captivating to watch. Her lithe form seemed to glide effortlessly through the pool's depths, and Reid couldn't help but be entranced by the sight.
As Bella emerged from the water, droplets of water glistening on her sun-kissed skin, Reid's breath caught in his throat for a moment. It was as if he were seeing her in a new light, one that emphasized her emerging beauty and the undeniable fact that she was no longer the girl he had once known.
In that fleeting moment, Reid realized that Bella had blossomed into a young adult, and her transformation had taken him by surprise. The small, reserved girl he had seen at social gatherings was no more. Instead, before him stood a young woman of striking beauty and undeniable allure.
Reid's heart quickened as he watched her, his thoughts momentarily drifting away from the phone call he had been on. He couldn't help but acknowledge the magnetic pull of Bella's presence every time he saw her, a force that had grown more powerful with each passing day of their shared vacation.
Her presence had ignited a spark within him, awakening emotions and desires that had long lain dormant and he hated himself for this.
Reid couldn't deny the undeniable attraction he felt towards Bella, and that truth weighed heavily on his conscience. He was acutely aware of the significant age difference between them; he was a grown-up man of 31 years, while she was just 18, barely stepping into adulthood. Moreover, the fact that she was his best friend's daughter added an extra layer of complexity and guilt to his feelings. Plus, he can never forget who he is despite his wealth: he is darkness, dirty, tainted, cursed.
As he grappled with his emotions, Reid found himself wrestling with self-doubt and self-recrimination. He hated himself for allowing these forbidden desires to take root within him. The moral implications of his attraction to Bella were crystal clear, and he knew that he should never entertain such thoughts or feelings.
Reid had always prided himself on his self-control and discipline, both in his personal and professional life. But now, faced with this unexpected and overpowering attraction, he felt his resolve weakening.
Each day, as he watched Bella, he couldn't help but feel like he was teetering on the edge of a moral precipice. The guilt and inner turmoil gnawed at him, leaving him torn between the intensity of his desires and the values that he held dear.
This is the reason he decided to call the escort agency this morning, as he knew that his guests would leave for the mainland for the day and he felt himself struggling with his control.
He ordered his staff to clear the house and give him privacy, as maybe an intimate encounter would help clear out this madness from his system. Intentionally, he chose to fuck the escort in a sunbed, to overwrite his guilty thoughts towards Bella with another experience.
The last thing he expected was to find Bella looking at him while he was balls deep inside that escort; she was supposed to be with her family, not here!!!
Despite noticing her, he could not stop; when his eyes landed on her his desire intensified 100 times, he became unhinged. The tension from the last week, the frustration and the object of his desire to be in front of him made him lose himself like never before, abandoned to his pleasure. He had never felt such an intense orgasm, it was almost painful, he wanted to shout and curse as the fire was coursing through his veins; and not even for a second, he couldn’t break his gaze from Bella’s, it was like a trance.
He came back to reality when Bella took a few steps back and ran to her room. The pain in her face stabbed his heart unexpectedly.
In the past, Reid observed Bella and he couldn't help but notice the subtle signs that suggested she had a crush on him. Her lingering glances, the way her cheeks would flush when he engaged her in conversation, and the occasional shy smile all hinted at the depth of her feelings. Reid found it both amusing and endearing, but he had never entertained the idea of intentionally hurting her.
In fact, he had always been careful not to encourage her crush, knowing that was something that would pass eventually from her side. He understood the dynamics of their relationship—the significant age difference and the fact that she was his best friend's daughter; plus he didn't have relationships, never.
Reid was determined not to take advantage of her innocence or lead her on in any way. He was a grown-up adult male and she was just an innocent lamb in this world. She should date one of her classmates and have her first kisses, have her first dates and childish heartbreaks.
He had always treated her with kindness and respect, mindful, but this week was like a demon waking up in him.
As he reflected on the events of the day, Reid couldn't help being slightly sadistic but thought that perhaps it was for the best. The unexpected and crude moment with the brunette had been a stark contrast to the sweet and innocent crush Bella had harbored for him. He knew that Bella was currently hurting, and he hoped that it had shattered any romantic illusions she might have had. While he hadn't intentionally sought to hurt her, he believed that this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise, helping to sever any lingering romantic thoughts she might have had toward him.
In the end, Reid wanted to protect Bella from any potential heartbreak, even if it meant temporarily being the villain in her eyes.
He hoped that she would eventually move on and find happiness elsewhere, far away from him and his darkness.
